Providers & Partners

Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services relies on a network of direct contracting private providers to deliver a wide array of clinical and therapeutic services to children and youth who come into the Department’s care. These providers assist with supports, services, experiences and opportunities that are individualized based on the strengths and needs of each individual youth.

Those eligible to be served by the private provider network include all children and youth coming into the custody of the Department of Children’s Services needing out-of-home and therapeutic care.
